Biography

Orion Hindawi cofounded cybersecurity firm Tanium with his father David in 2007; private investors valued the firm at $9 billion in June 2020.

In February 2016, Orion took over as CEO of Tanium from his father, who serves as executive chairman.

The father-son team previously worked together on BigFix, an IT software patching system that they sold to IBM for $400 million in 2010.

Orion's father David was born in Baghdad, grew up in Israel, and went to UC Berkeley to earn a Ph.D.

Orion also ended up at UC Berkeley in 1997, but dropped out before graduating to work with his father.
